What made you smile today?

I’ve tried to find a little happiness even from trivial things. For example, I could sleep a little longer this morning because of business trip, so I happily ate breakfast and made espresso. There are always not great things each day, so I need to make myself happy somehow.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
I was a little worried about whether I wrote it well, but I'm glad it turned out well.
I don't know how to add nuance so that it sounds natural, though.

For example, I could sleep a little longer this morning because of a business trip, so I happily ate breakfast and made espresso.

more natural phrasing, "not" in an adjective position is something that happens in very casual speech, but it's not considered correct.

I like this post :) I've been trying to find happiness in little moments too.

If you want to say that you regularly make an effort to find happiness from trivial things, you would say "I try to find..."

For example, I could sleep a little longer this morning because of a business trip, so I happily ate breakfast and made espresso.

There are always not great things each day, so I need to make myself happy somehow.

I don't think this is a grammatical thing, so I didn't correct it, but we generally don't use negated adjectives to modify a noun directly. Here are some ways to fix it:
Use a different adjective: "There are always bad things each day."
Modify "always" instead: "There are not always great things each day."
Not that these have slightly different meanings.

Mostly nuance stuff. Great job.

I struggle with that too. I think reading and listening to native speakers helps a lot.
